[샌디에이고=AP/뉴시스] Kim Ha-seong of the San Diego Padres hits a triple in the bottom of the fourth inning of the 2024 MLB game against the Chicago Cubs held at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 10th (local time). 2024.04.11.
San Diego Padres Kim Ha-seong (29) was fighting against Japanese pitcher Shota Imanaga (Chicago Cubs).
Ha-seong Kim started as the 7th hitter and shortstop in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) game against the Chicago Cubs held at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois, USA on the 8th (Korea time) and recorded 1 hit in 4 am- bats.
His season batting average rose from 0.209 to 0.210.
On this day, Ha-seong Kim was facing Cubs starting pitcher Imanaga. Imanaga, who played in the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) until last year and came to the United States, settled in MLB quickly and is evaluated as a top rookie.
Kim Ha-seong, who entered his first at-bat in the second inning with one out and one on first base, swung at Imanaga’s first four-pitch fastball. He hit a four-team fastball on second pitch, but it was caught as a fly to right field. In the 5th inning, when the team was down 0-1 and had no runners with one out, the team struck out after a full count.
Even in the 7th inning, when the team was still down by 1 point, Imana failed to attack. He hit a four-seam fastball to the body and then turned it into a fly to left field.
Kim Ha-seong, who was affiliated with Imanaga, broke his silence by meeting Cubs relief pitcher Hector Neris after one out in the 9th inning when the game was tied 2-2. The fourth pitch, hit with 1 ball and 2 strikes, became a heavy hit that passed the shortstop.
However, the subsequent hit did not happen, so no points were scored.
San Diego, unable to take advantage of the last chance created by Ha-seong Kim, lost 2-3.
In the bottom of the 9th inning, San Diego NL shortstop de los Santos was hit by a four-team fastball on the first pitch by Cubs leadoff hitter Michael Bush and delivered a solo shot that went over the right-center field fence. .
Imanaga allowed 7 hits (1 home run), 8 strikeouts, 1 walk, and 2 runs in 7 innings. The average ERA rose from 0.78 to 1.08, but he led the entire MLB in ERA.
